Ella followed suit with the steps of Laras and Kartika, the future sister-in-law and her mother-in-law. It seems that he will not be surprised again with their shopping style that is like a person possessed by a shopping demon. Are all sultanwati so crazy if it has to deal with shopping? Their money is unlimited in number.
Next, Jillia guided them to the storefront that showed off various foreign-issued bags with various brands. Starting from Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Fossil, even to Hermes and Yves Saint Laurent (YSL). Brands that absolutely will not Ella lyrics to buy it for her own money. Where willing...Well, just buy a KW Batam bag usually.
"How do you want to find a bag?" Jillia asked Ella's handbag taste.
"Hand bag or shoulder bag that is rather large so that it can be used all work." Ella answered.
"It's Hermes and Louis Vuitton that fit your criteria." Jillia pulled out a Hermes-branded black bag and a brown bag with LV-style motivations from one of the storefronts.
"Hermes is rather expensive si $ 65,000, because it is made of genuine crocodile skin this material. If the LV is cheap only about 30 million." Jillia explained the price of the bags that made Ella swallow her saliva, it made no sense to buy bags at that price.
"Hermes is good, El." Kartika.
Good si ma...But how many rupiahs is $ 65,000? Ella's mind was already screaming and her brain made a rough count of how much the bag would cost if it was given away. Just multiply 14,000. Devinitely NO for Ella.
"Don't deh ma, the original crocodile skin really feels a bit horrified. Ella is a lover of the environment so it's not hearty to imagine crocodiles being killed just to make a bag." Ella was deliberately looking for a slightly intelligent reason to refuse.
"Yawes took what Louis Vuitton did. Something is cheap." Kartika then decided.
Cheap ones? 30 Million is oiiii... Can make buying a lot of things more useful than just branded bags.
"The party must also have. Just anyways..." Laras. "Because after this you will often attend a party to accompany mas Ardi."
"Try to choose if it fits the same shoes that were bought, Jill." Pinta Kartika on Jillia.
"This is a clutch bag from Dior silver, there is another Yves Saint Laurent soulder bag in beige, and lastly a mini bag Louis Vuitton in white. It must be very suitable to be combined with the three shoes earlier." Jillia showed the three bags she meant and took them from the storefront.
"This is it," Ella took a white bag from Louis Vuiton and tried it. Bags that have the cheapest price bandrol. And the cheapness is still above 30 million. What the hell is Jillia's shop. Why sell goods at such an inhumane price try this?
"It fits you perfectly. Just take it, the three of you were wrapped up as well." Kartika again decided the purchase arbitrarily.
"Ma, just one. Ella's bags at home are plenty, too..." Ella tried to resist as smoothly as possible. Trying to put the brakes on their spending which he thought was too brutal. Can break it card mas Ardi long ago.
Laras and Kartika are not happy to hear Ella's answer. Gemes with Ella nature that they think is too stubborn and difficult to adapt.
"Sir Ella, after your engagement, you will be Ardi Pradana's candidate you know." Laras. "Everything you wear especially in a high society party will definitely be in the spotlight. It's not funny if the bag, shoes and clothes you wear are all that." Laras said in his slightly jutek and ceplas-ceplos style.
Laras wants to reemphasize on Ella the need for a little show off in their circles. The need for luxurious and honorable appearance for the sake of existence to support the prestige and good name of their family. For the prestige of their sultan's family.
"Yes could be a scandal later, the time of Ardi pradana the heiress of Pradana Group is stingy with his future wife. Don't want to buy his wife a decent outfit for the party." Kartika approved Laras' speech.
"So core...You bought this not just for you. But yes to Ardi himself as well. So don't hesitate to choose. After all, Ardi himself will also not mind if you spend a little money." Laras again emphasized his words.
Ella was silent and stunned thinking of Laras' words. Ella had only thought about how much money they had to spend. Little what? Hundreds of millions of dollars they spend today. Wasting and squandering money just to buy various items that Ella thinks are not important. Not important to a commoner like Ella.
But Ella forgets that she will soon be the wife of Ardi Pradana. Ella forgot to think and put herself as the next lady of Pradana. Wife of CEO Pradana Group. Automatically she will be the woman who must accompany Ardi to be present at every party invitation of the sultans.
He will also be in the public spotlight later. He will be a benchmark or symbol of pride, prestige and honor for Ardi as well. Then how could he possibly appear as is with a makeshift outfit like a commoner he usually wears? Appear like a fool at the party of the sultans? Must be embarrassing for Ardi and Pradana's group.
"Have you done, we took everything except the hermes from the crocodile's skin." Kartika tried to melt the atmosphere that felt a little awkward.
Feeling bad for Ella too, the Laras if not pleased with something is indeed the judges can come out without being able to brake again. But what Laras did was right by reminding Ella of her position. The position that inevitably must be Ella embrace after becoming a companion Ardi.
Then Kartika and Laras followed the waiter who brought the items they bought towards the cashier. Cindy also followed along with them, getting ready as a handyman carrying their grocery bags later. The job of a good assistant.
"Ella, I have something for you" said Jillia when alone with Ella.
The woman tried to comfort Ella who still looked glum. She knew it must be very uncomfortable for Ella to have to adjust to a world completely different from hers. It must have been very hard for Ella to be able to enter and understand the world of these sultans.
"Wait a minute..." Jillia took a moment to take something from the storage room.
Ella simply nodded in response. Still busy with thinking about the words of Laras earlier. Thinking of the decision she had taken herself to become Ardi's wife. Thinking of the foreign world she would enter as a consequence later after becoming the wife of a sultan.
"Here we go...You can take it and wear for your daily routines." Jillia returned shortly afterwards, handing Ella a shoebox and a sling bag with a brown fossil brand.
(*This is it...You can take it and use it for your daily activities).
"What is it?'" Ella accepted Jillia's gift with great confusion.
"My gifts for you. Salamin to Ardi later. He has helped my company and boutique a lot when it was still early standing. Ardi who helped invest when other investors still doubt that my business will be successful. Let's just say I gave you a gift as my gratitude for him." Jillia smiled in response.
Once again Ella was stunned to hear another one of Ardi's kindness to her friend. Either because she knew Jillia would succeed or for what reason. Ardi did not hesitate to help his friend by investing large amounts of funds. More and more clear on Ella how the money game her future husband. It's hideous!
"Thank you Jill, Thanx a lot." Ella was absolutely moved to receive the gift from jillia. Gifts that are tailored to the tastes and possibilities of everyday use more often. Not an item that will hang out more often in the closet as a mere collection item.
"No problems dear. You are the spirit of donk. You and Ardi have been through a lot until you can finally be together again. Do not let trivial problems like this can be a barrier to your relationship."
"It's not easy..." Ella expressed her grief.
"From the beginning, I said. It will not be easy for this different caste relationship... But something that is not easy and needs struggle will produce something very sweet."
"I hope so too...."
"The spirit of donk! Don't forget you still have Ardi. He's a very reliable man. Just believe on him El... Just like I do. I can believe him as my best friend and business partner."
(*Just trust Ardi, El...Like me. I trust him as my best friend and business partner).
"i will's...Thanx is Jill." Ella nodded her answer. That's right, he just has to believe in Ardi. Just let Ardi take care of himself later.
Jillia smiled with relief at Ella who was already determined. The girl also gave a warm hug to ella as an additional encouragement.
It turns out that after getting jewelry, bags and shoes, their shopping event is still not finished as well.The next goal is to shop Iwan Gunadi at the Galaxy mall. Looking for clothes of course.
Ella became a little quiet during the trip until they arrived at Iwan's boutique. Mood bought it as if lost somewhere. Plus his body was getting tired because it had been keeping poly all day and day until dusk around from one store to another store for shopping.
Even until almost tonight Ella still has not filled her stomach since this morning. Increasingly makes his body weak and a little dizzy. Want to ask to stop for a moment to buy food it feels saddened by the group, duh so all wrong.
"Let's calm I have prepared clothes for Madam Laras. To the beautiful miss of the future handsome boss right?" Iwan spoke with Laras and Kartika after greeting and making small talk.
While Ella was already agitated and slightly lost her concentration. Waiting while sitting on the couch. Shortly after, his phone rang. Ardi called him.
"Hello..." Sapa Ella after moving to find a place a little far from the crowd.
"Hello honey, what's the shopping event? What did you buy?" Ardi asked excitedly.
"Not done yet..."
"Haaaah? Not crossed? Since noon?" Ardi asked in a tone of disbelief.
"Yes." replied Ella weakly.
"God...Mama's base and Laras like kebablas if it's shopping." Ardi grumbled annoyed considering the habits of his mother and sister.
"You don't papa, do you?" Ardi asked again because he realized Ella's voice was not so enthusiastic.
"No papa."
"What about papa? Here I want to see your face." Ardi grew curious, trying to shift his call to the vidio call. Ella refused it.
"I'm not a papa, baby." Ella deliberately gives a friendly message to calm Ardi. "Just tired and a little dizzy."
"Dizziness? Did you have lunch?" Ardi is interrogating again. Remember that Ella usually only eats lunch after her police schedule ends. If Laras and his mother had picked him up at the hospital, Ella would not have had lunch. And now the sun has set. It's time for dinner now.
"Hmmm..." Ella was confused as to what to answer.
"Where are you now?" Ardi changed the topic of the question to Ella.
"Butiknya Iwan Gunadi...Mom used to call..." Ella hung up their phone call because Kartika had called her.
Ella approached Kartika and Laras to choose some clothes from the row of clothes that Iwan had recorded.
A dozen party clothes lined up in front of Ella. Dresses with various colors, models and detail pieces that seem luxurious and expensive. And Laras and Kartika were very enthusiastic to tell Ella to try one by one the clothes.
Ella was powerless to refuse their request. Too lazy to argue again. Finally Ella just according to try one by one clothes that fit her taste. Exit from the room fittings to show his appearance to Kartika, Laras and Cindy for comment.
After trying on the fifth shirt, Ella was no longer able to stand up. He was dizzy and tired all over his body. It's like fainting when Ella comes out of the room fittings. Oleng and gontai because the bones in his body seemed to soften.
And it was at that moment that a sturdy hand suddenly grabbed and grabbed Ella's body, holding her back from falling...Ella tried to recognize who had helped her in the midst of her confusion, the aroma of this so distinctive and fresh greens perfume...Ardi Mas?
